I know the positioning of this camera is all wrong but I am more concerned about the night time picture. I have cleaned the dome camera thoroughly and the night time image always has these white orbs. Day time image is crystal clear. Can anyone tell me what is causing this please?F8FDE86C-1261-4414-980D-66B6045B059C.jpeg

Reflections at night from IR bounce and/or other light sources. Other than moving the camera or the hanger, some black tape on that whitest part of the clothes hanger will knock it down a ton, as will calibrating the camera off of auto settings.

what is the make and model of the camera. There appears to be IR reflection from the dome around the lens.

Welcome @Hbmeri

This is a typical issue we see with Dome cameras.

Check also the foam / rubber around the lens.
